Wrap a piece of tin foil around one side of the card and the fasten with sellotape.

Squeeze out some red and black paint on a tray.

Use a potato masher and dip into the black paint. Print the potato masher on the tin foil. This makes the body of the robot.

Then using some printing tools (you can use small tools from a craft supplier or you can use cotton buds/end of pencils/cotton reels - be creative, you can make shapes from all sorts of odds and ends). Make a head, legs, arms and a border with the blocks to create your robot picture.

Lay the shapes onto the backing paper and arrange them into a robot shape. Take care to make a Body (squares work well), Legs (triangles and rectangles work well), Arms (squares and rectangles) and a Head (Squares).

Stick on some googly eyes or draw them on.

Use a pen to draw on some features like buttons, ears, hands and antenae.

Activity 3: Pipe Cleaner Robots

What you will need:Pipe CleanersBeadsPermanent markerTiny googly eyes

Skills you will use: Threading, fine motor, 3D making.

How to do it:

Get a pipe cleaner and fold it in half. This will make the legs.

Then use another pipe cleaner to wrap around the fold in the first ‘legs’ pipe cleaner. By wrapping it around you will join it together. The second pipe cleaner forms the torso area of the robot.

Use some beads to thread onto the pipe cleaner to make the legs and the body.

Once you have threaded enough beads onto the legs, fold the pipe cleaner back insde the last bead and this just finishes off the leg and secures the beads. It also makes a little foot.

Add some beads on the torso.

Add some arms in the same way, by twisting the pipe cleaner around the top of the torso.

Add some beads onto the arms and twist back through to make hands,

Find a bead you want for the head, and attach that on to any remaining pipe cleaner left over from the torso.

Tuck the remaining pipe cleaner back in the head to secure.

Draw or stick on some eyes and a mouth and any other features you want.
